This study examines the social welfare reform characteristics revealed in the process of Luther's Reformation in the 16th century and proposes ways to apply them to modern Christianity, especially from the perspective of the missional church. Luther's Reformation, based on the doctrines of justification by faith only and the priesthood of all believers, showed concern for the socially vulnerable and promoted social welfare policies such as relief activities, education businesses, and economic policies. Modern Christianity should inherit the social welfare reform characteristics of Luther and practice social welfare that does not ignore reality, understand the social responsibility of the church, and practice welfare for local communities.
